Coalition Letter to House Leadership on H.R. 1163 the Prove It Act of 2025, to strengthen the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

On behalf of millions of small businesses across the country, we write to thank you for prioritizing legislation to provide regulatory relief and red tape for small businesses. We urge the House of Representatives to pass legislation, such as H.R. 1163 the Prove It Act of 2025, to strengthen the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) and ensure the intent of the law is fulfilled. Small businesses were forced to deal with a tsunami of new regulations coming from Washington, D.C. over four years under the Biden Administration. In one four-year term, the Biden Administration finalized an unprecedented $1.8 trillion in new regulatory compliance costs and added 356 million in paperwork hours.1 These burdens fall disproportionately on small businesses that do not have lawyers and compliance officers to navigate complex regulatory issues.
